Subject: [PATCH v3 2/2] prctl: propagate has_child_subreaper flag to every descendant
If process forks some children when it has is_child_subreaper
flag enabled they will inherit has_child_subreaper flag - first
group, when is_child_subreaper is disabled forked children will
not inherit it - second group. So child-subreaper does not reparent
all his descendants when their parents die. Having these two
differently behaving groups can lead to confusion. Also it is
a problem for CRIU, as when we restore process tree we need to
somehow determine which descendants belong to which group and
much harder - to put them exactly to these group.
To simplify these we can add a propagation of has_child_subreaper
flag on PR_SET_CHILD_SUBREAPER, walking all descendants of child-
subreaper to setup has_child_subreaper flag.
In common cases when process like systemd first sets itself to
be a child-subreaper and only after that forks its services, we will
have zero-length list of descendants to walk. Testing with binary
subtree of 2^15 processes prctl took < 0.007 sec and has shown close
to linear dependency(~0.2 * n * usec) on lower numbers of processes.
Moreover, I doubt someone intentionaly pre-forks the children whitch
should reparent to previous reaper(e.g. init) before becoming
subreaper, because some our ancestor migh have had is_child_subreaper
flag while forking our sub-tree and our childs will all inherit
has_child_subreaper flag, and we have no way to influence it. And only
way to check if we have no has_child_subreaper flag is to create some
childs, kill them and see where they will reparent to.
Using walk_process_tree helper to walk subtree, thanks to Oleg! Timing
seems to be the same.
Optimize:
a) When descendant already has has_child_subreaper flag all his subtree
has it too already.
* for a) to be true need to move has_child_subreaper inheritance under
the same tasklist_lock with adding task to its ->real_parent->children
as without it process can inherit zero has_child_subreaper, then we
set 1 to it's parent flag, check that it has no more parents, and only
after child with wrong flag is added to the tree.
* also make these inheritance more clear by using real_parent instead of
current, as on clone(CLONE_PARENT) if current has is_child_subreaper
and real_parent has no is_child_subreaper or has_child_subreaper, child
will have has_child_subreaper flag set without actually having a
subreaper in it's ancestors.
b) When some descendant is child_reaper, it's subtree is in different
pidns from us(original child-subreaper) and processes from other pidns
will never reparent to us.
So we can skip their(a,b) subtree from walk.
v2: switch to walk_process_tree() general helper, move
has_child_subreaper inheritance
v3: remove csr_descendant leftover, change current to real_parent
in has_child_subreaper inheritance
